Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 88.9/100, a mean average of 88.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 89.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.5.

Cuenta May que, cuando llegó el momento de grabar esta canción, la enfermedad de Mercury estaba tan avanzada que el guitarrista le dijo que no podría hacerlo. Freddie tomó un trago de vodka y contestó: "Querido, ahora verás si puedo".

Great song, farewell Freddie.
One of the best songs on the album and one of their best period. It really is Freddie Mercury's farewell and is incredibly moving with a beautiful middle eight that lifts the song to an even higher emotional peak. It's a brilliant end to the album and the true end of Queen.
One of their best songs

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
